Zahava Friedman Speech Therapy
Giving kids the jump start they need!
Serving the Amherst/Northampton/Holyoke area in person, and all of Massachusetts and California online
Delivering measurable results through fun and engaging therapy
Therapy sessions are 45-60 minutes long and include direct therapy with your child as well as education and training for family members. Zahava provides in-home therapy, which is not only convenient for families, but allows students to practice in a functional, relevant environment. Parents and/or close family members can both observe and participate in the therapy process, learning fun, effective strategies to support communication and behavior skill development. Families have the option of in-person or virtual sessions.
If you have concerns about your child's communication skills, call Zahava (619- 723-3021), email jumpstartspeechSLP@gmail.com, or reach out via the contact page for a complimentary phone or zoom consultation.
Covid Protocol
Safety is a top priority
There is no evidence that wearing a mask and social distancing impedes language development, but there is evidence that those precautions prevent the spread of disease. For in home-therapy sessions, masks are a must. I am fully vaccinated, and will come to your home wearing a mask with a clear window, so that your child can easily see my mouth. Additionally, I will provide your child with a new washable clear mask so that I can see theirs. Hand washing and hand sanitizing routines are part of the beginning and end of every session. You will learn with Zahava Friedman Speech Therapy that everything you do is an opportunity for learning, even hand washing!
